Netflix has renewed Glow for a third season. The renewal comes nearly two months after the series’ second season premiered in late June. At the end of the last season, the story pointed to the team getting a chance to run a Vegas show, and that is where the new season will be primarily set.
The show has been nominated for a whopping 10 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Betty Gilpin.
Glow is is based on the real-life ’80s wrestling promotion Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It tells the fictional story of Alison Brie’s Ruth Wilder, an out-of-work actress who finds herself in an upstart women’s wrestling circuit. The series is created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch. Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan, Tara Herrmann and Mark Burley serve as executive producers alongside showrunners Flahive and Mensch.
The show archieved a 96 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes for seasons one and two. Netflix, like fellow streamers Hulu and Amazon, does not release viewership information. Even though industry sources claim that the series is not among Netflix’s most watched, it is valued by the streaming service for its creative execution and status as an awards contender.
Like the two seasons before it, Glow‘s third go-round will once again consist of 10 episodes. Netflix has yet to announce a premiere date for season three, but if history repeats itself, June 2019 is a possibility, seeing as season one was released on June 23, 2017 while season two arrived June 29, 2018.
